Next season marks the final year of the BCS as we know it. In 2014, the National Championship will be determined by a four-team playoff.

The ACC Figured It Out Just In Time: Time To Plunder The Big East Again
It’s always a good day to plunder the Big East The slow and gradual collapse of the Big East, which was caused in no small part by the misguided basketball-only schools who never realized that football must come first, leaves plenty for the plunder. 20 years ago, not realizing how much more important football would be … Continue reading

All-American Ball Players – A Tribute to The Players That Make Baseball Great

The University of Louisville Should Be The ACC’s Prime Target, Not UConn, As An Upgrade From Maryland

Why Yahoo Fantasy Football Is Still Clearly Superior To ESPN’s Best Effort
This Sunday was a disaster for Yahoo! Sports, as their entire fantasy football website crashed. Managers were unable to get on to check their teams, or adjust their rosters. Surely, thousands of procrastinating fantasy managers left bye-week players in their lineups. They have since improved their servers.

An Epic September Was Sullied By The Second Wild Card
Pundits and commentators have been bloviating about how great the second wild card slot that Bud Selig instituted has been. They fail to mention how great this September could have been without a second wild card or how unfair the results could be. Here we sit with one game left on the schedule and Texas, … Continue reading
